Says it all really.
These things are more common than you'd think.

No, they aren't. A few years older and yes. But it isn't common at all for that age.
Edit: This sort of thing is a problem. We can all sit around and talk about how he might be the most responsible thirteen year old on earth and wish him the best, but the bottom line is that this is the sort of situation that sees baby's skulls cracking against walls.
Standing back and saying "these things happen" is not only a poor way of carrying on a conversation (come with an opinion or don't come at all), but it creates this sense that indifference is not only more than acceptable, it is the only polite thing to do.
Bottom line: They should not be allowed to keep the child.
